Antietam
NZ was colonized by the British and a country in the British Empire. When Great Britain went to war with Germany, so did NZ, Australia, Canada, and other countries which were then part of the British Empire. WW1 was not merely a clash of countries. It was a clash of empires, even more so than WW2, and it is difficult to equate in a modern context now that Imperialism is in the past. The question "Why should NZ get involved?" was probably not asked in NZ at the time, at least not aloud.
The Battle of Jutland was naval histories first, last, and greatest clash of battlecruisers.
Battle of Tsushima 27 May 1905. Histories only decisive clash of steel battleship fleets.
The clash between the two sides turned out to be more than just a small skirmish. Synonyms for the word skirmish are fight, battle, and combat.
